A review by subjectheading
The Gods of Tango, by Carolina De Robertis
4.0
As historical fiction, The Gods of Tango is an interesting subject with a solid execution. It was well paced and without any sections that I felt a need to skim.
For most of the book, Dante's character is defined by his relationships to other people, and considering the dangerous position that Dante occupied in early 20th century Argentinian society, it is understandable the he would avoid confronting those truths. The relationship with Rosa is lovely, and the freedom that Dante finds in it finally makes him a complete character.
